How a collaboration works

From first call to shared results

Most collaborations start small: one question, one dataset and a clear way to tell whether it worked. Larger programmes grow from there.

  1. 01

    Agree the question

    What decision or method should the work improve, and who will use the result?

  2. 02

    Agree roles and data

    Who provides data, expertise, time and funding, and who owns what is produced.

  3. 03

    Run a scoped pilot

    A short, measured first phase with a written success test, before any long commitment.

  4. 04

    Share and scale

    Publish or hand over the results, train the people who will run them and plan the next phase.

Questions partners ask

Can you join a grant proposal?
Yes. We contribute technical design, work plans and budgets for GeoAI, data and immersive components, and can lead or support delivery.
Do you work with students and universities?
Yes. We co-supervise applied projects and internships in remote sensing, machine learning and 3D, and share our learning material freely.
Who owns the results?
It is agreed before work starts. We are comfortable with shared, open or partner-owned results, depending on the funder and the purpose.
Where do you work?
We are based in Nepal and collaborate remotely with partners in other countries and time zones.
